Running to America 2011

Will they overcome the challenges in their lives and make it to the finish line?

Directed by Matthew Long

Running to America is a story of pure inspiration. Four young Indigenous men from the Australian outback are plucked from obscurity by marathon legend Robert de Castella to run the world's most famous race, the New York Marathon. He's convinced that Indigenous Australians have a natural talent for distance running - but have never been given the chance to excel.
